I did that once in my sister's 66 VW Bug. Maybe he can extract with pair of needle nose.

Maybe a strong magnet might extract it.

and you know I am the other...two kinds of ships, submarines and targets. Done on purpose!
There are more airplanes in the water than submarines in the sky.
The only GOOD Marine is a SUBmarine!

I fooled them. But, you had to be certifiably NUTZOID to seal it up and open the vents.
Stories abound....first hand.
Fresh out of shipyard overhaul....sea trials....come back and somebody finds a hole in the hull (water in the people part) where the shipyard cut out a through hull fitting....and covered said hole with EB Green.
EB green is a sort of superman green duct tape used by Electric Boat (hence the "EB").
Or the boomer sealing up, and somebody sees daylight off beside the inner access hatch....and gets the dive stopped before serious consequences ensue.
You've never lived until the boat gets shoved down by a rogue wave while on the surface, with folks on the bridge....to 125' depth...and bridge hatches open..and 110VAC in the water running out of the light fixtures.....if I wasn't nutzoid before that, I was afterwards.

Horror comes in many different forms. I would certainly choose to face my finality in my sleep rather than what you've described. Been certain it would come as an HH-53 took fire over jungle, and again when sliding sideways at an intersection on ice in a western Pennsylvania winter in an MGB. Still here and pleased as a result. We're in what my Ol' Fela called "overtime"... he lived after a German 88 round didn't quite kill him when his AA crew crossed the Ruhr.
In private, which boat?
I've some connection with EB and the materials shipped to Groton.

You're livin' in the area of my ol' stompin' grounds! Across the Bay, lived a couple blocks from the Chesapeake, on Buckroe Ave.
